Oh God, you are the source of our comfort when our tears will not cease to flow. We ask that you strengthen our nation not only to deal with our grief, but also to have the courage and the conviction to change our policies, our institutions, and our way of life, so that we may no longer have to wait to live in the peaceable kingdom, but instead build it with the aid of your Son Jesus Christ. Unite our actions, and our prayers through your Son, the Prince of Peace. Amen.
